I closed out may accounts just in time, a lot of work.
There is nothing international about RBC, all the benefits of HSBC are now gone. They even charge for e-transfers and their internatiinal wire transfer service is an expensive joke.

Thanks Trudeau.

Nice scam. All tax grab, no incentives.

Singles qualify for the full rebate if they earn less than $39,115 in after-tax income and families if they earn less than $50,170. The rebate drops by two per cent of the income above the threshold until the credit becomes zero. Singles earning above $61,465 in after-tax income and households earning more $83,695 receive zero.

For a developer, I’d try PopOS! It is built on Ubuntu, but doesn’t stray far from it. It has a lot of developer tools and packages either pre installed or easy to access. Simple install process and runs well.

Especially when some of their children end up sterile from the illness.

They didn't apologize. Headlines just say they did.

I agree with your review. I’ve been using Linux since Slack in the mid 90’s and I switched over most of my machines to Elementary. An Alienware with 3090, Airbus laptop with 1080, and a Lenovo with an AMD 550.

Except for NVidia proprietary drivers:

  • Fastest OS install. I want to play games, not wait for an OS to install and give me 50 pedantic options to step through.
  • Boots very fast, shuts down just as fast.
  • Fast Sleep and wake up every time on desktop and laptop. WiFi works, video normal
  • Clean, stable, consistent GUI that doesn’t do weird things
  • Bluetooth and audio worked great with no fuss.

As you mentioned, Flatseal is a must. However, I use AppImages as much as possible. I get the security benefit of flatpaks, but all this sandboxing and containerizing creates too many problems with apps that need to communicate with one another, and accessing my files was a serious PITA because of permission issues that needed to be corrected. There are no permission issues with AppImage, but security benefits aren’t there either. However, both work wonderfully with Elementary.

  • Use AppImageLauncher to automatically create your Application menu items

Heroic Games Launcher was written by wonderful humans!

Cyberpunk won’t work, need to dualboot to Windows. But many windows games work well.

Now, about NVidia: The proprietary driver takes all the horrible fiddling Linux has a reputation for, but reality, is that NVidia drivers are closed source and AMD works with the community. OOTB experience with AMD is flawless.

3090 came up and everything was green, a problem with the Nouveau driver.
1080 everything looked ok

Ran the install, installed the kernel headers, the dev/build packages, mucked around a bit and it works great. However, every time there is a new kernel, the new linux headers and Nvidia module aren’t automatically installed and compiled so it boots to the command line. I know how to manually install them and get back and running, but I haven’t figured out what the problem is yet. Never ran into this on Ubuntu, Fedora or RHEL before.

Yeah it's a classic case of Microsoft marketing. So far I found the office integration to be the least useful and most over hyped in marketing. However what it is good at is actually helpful. Join a meeting late it already has an update for what's happened on the meeting so far and it's really good for summarizing a meeting especially a key topics and a summary of action items. Tedious tasks like taking data copied from a PDF file and reformatting it correctly in CSV. And my favorite is making custom graphics based on a specific colour palette, though most images are really good for entertainment, demos and samples, but not production quality for final products. Weird results include creepy human images just don't look right in a disturbing zombie-like way.

A couple days ago. People have been taking selfies with it all day, so I guess they like it.
